If we really want to index the homepage, then a more extensible format
might be better. For example, each line of the index could be a JSON
object like this:

{"description": "sandbox'd LD_PRELOAD hack", "homepage":
"http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/sandbox/", "package_versions":
"sys-apps/sandbox-1.6-r2,2.3-r1,2.4,2.5,2.6-r1"}

The attached script generates this JSON lines format.
